The other day I saw the cover of a newspaper here in Philadelphia, and it read “SEPTA SLASHER.” Who would want to use public transportation to get to work after reading this? Why does the news always promote fear?
Fear is hate
Also, at the back of every newspaper, they ask people that struggle with mental health, such as depression and anxiety, to call a phone number to receive treatment with a new drug study.
My thought is the more fear that is promoted, the more angry and divided people are. It’s also a good strategy to make people the perfect consumer. They’ll flip the page or turn the channel to the commercial that tells them to subscribe to Netflix and just sit at home, order food, and go to sleep.
